The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements ("CITA") finds that it does not have sufficient information on the record of the above noted proceeding to make its determination on the commercial availability of the subject yarn. As a result, CITA hereby extends its deadline to publish a determination by 14 U.S. business days, or August 3, 2016.

To collect more information on the record, CITA will hold a public meeting with interested entities on July 6, 2016, in room 1412 at the Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington DC, 20230.

The request was filed by Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg on behald of Polartec. It covers certain two-ply polyester yarn aod the following specifications:

NOTE: The yarn size designations describe a range of yarn
specifications for yarn before knitting, dyeing and finishing of the
fabric. They are intended as specifications to be followed by the mill
in sourcing yarn used to produce fabric. Dyeing, finishing, and knitting can alter the characteristic of the yarn as it appears in the finished fabric. This specification therefore includes yarns appearing in the finished fabric as finer or coarser than the designated yarn sizes provided that the variation occurs after processing of the greige yarn and production of the fabric. The specifications for the yarn apply to the yarn itself prior to cutting, sewing and finishing of a finished garment. Such processing may alter the measurements.
